35mm Marzochi fork air bleed valve. Now sorted

have been servicing my Strada forks and shed gremlins crept in and stole the little spring and ball valve that sits under the Allen screw in the top cap. The springs were a bit cruddy so I cleaned everything with brake cleaner but some how one spring and ball vanished.

Does anyone have a spare top cap or the spring and ball they can sell me.

Those same gremlins got into my spanner which slipped when undoing the top nut to change my fork oil and took out a neat sliver of metal from the hex end.

They are little buggers aren't they :twisted:

Luckily I have a socket to undo the caps.
